Thanks (for the first bit:). Yes I think that a faster shutter speed would have sorted a few things out. I have to say though for a handheld 1000mm shot from a £420 pound camera the fur detail in the tail is quite impressive. The hair on the tail is incredibly fine but it's picked it up quite well. Maybe backlit grey and furry at full zoom is not the easiest subject to start with, or show the camera's best points
